Mirko came into the UFC off of a knee surgery at 32 or 33 years old.
-20 previous mma fights
-36 pro kickboxing fights prior to mma
-god knows how many amateur fights
The guy has been grinding and constantly fighting his whole life. Amazing what he accomplished. How many fights did Cain and Jds have before they fell off?
It took a few years and Gonzaga had declined. One of my favorite moments was Mirko winning their rematch.
Same , I was soo happy when he smashed him in the rematch in Poland
He had a bunch of amateur boxing matches.
Spent his career in the ring, then went to a cage when he was on the backside of his career.
These guys arenāt robots.
I hated that, I wanted Mirko KOed cold again
If Cro fought Cain 3 times heād be shot too
lol
Who knew the UFC was the gold standard for clean athletes during that time? Even before USADA!
Remember what Nick Diaz said about steroids? The TUE and later USADA proved how right he was.
Damn man, what do you have against Cro Cop?
I found him arrogant and unnecessarily cruel to fighters already beaten, sort of like chute box fighters. It is mainly his attitude I didnāt like. He is free to be himself and say what he wants, and Iām free to dislike him.
I did enjoy watching him fight even though I rooted against him
So who did you root for in the OWGP semifinal against Wand?
Prime Fedor beats the fuck out of anyone, anywhere, anytime.
Jon Jones on the folded kumite mat. Fedor whoops his ass
Lesnar in a shallow pool. Fedor still downs his ass.
Cain in a jungle. Fedor via anaconda choke from a real anaconda.
Mir on a motorcycle brawl. Fedor washes him with ease. Then throws his lifeless body off the bike afterwards.
Couture on cam during cyber sex. Fedor would force Couture to rip his own dick off once he realized he wasnāt talking to some girl.
Ngannou in a tribal village showdown. Fedor KO via Lion attack.
But hes also had his humble moments.
I remember when he was a member of Croatian Parliament, someone insulted Big Nog and Mirko WENT OFF on the person.
Said how Minotauro was run over by a bus as i child and wasnt expected to live, but not only lived but became a world champion. He literally said, āThis is a great man.ā
Some fighters need to be a certain way with the ppl they fight, then afterwards its all love.
A good example is Topuria with Max before ajd after the fight. Some ppl have to be that way because they canāt fight someone they fully respect. So they have to create conflict; a reason to fight them.
I found an actual simulation of Fedor vs Mir on bikes, and as you can see, it didnāt go well for Mir
Lol i loved this game on PC; the soundtrack was amazing.
Is that Road Rash?
I hope thatās road rash lol. Loved that game
We played it on Genesis then later PS1.
I would play it right now.
Hell yes me too.
Also that one arcade game where you create your own dirt bike maps. Loved that game
